Magnepan Speakers - Ribbon Replacement

My MG IIIa's are 18 years old and still going! One of the ribbons burst while playing Pink Floyd a bit too loud a long time ago. Had a cheap amp though. Changed the fuses to 1 1/4A from 1 1/2 (factory) and upgraded electronics to more power. Haven't had an issue in over 15 years. I'm saving up for the 3.6's. I'll ALWAYS own Maggies. Buy a pair, and you'll know why.

I wouldn't fret about Maggie ribbons wearing out, period. I've had a couple sets of Maggies, always bought used, with some quite old...and never had a problem with ribbbons.

If you want something to worry about, worry about finding the right amps for them, lol.

I have blown several tweeters during the years. My reason for damaged tweeters is ss amp clipping. Since I have been using larger mono tube amps never blown any tweeters.

I just ordered a new tweeter for one of my MG2.6's. $100.
Magnepan ships these in a PVC tube. You send them the old core. If you don't return the core, they charge you $242.
I also ordered the re-wire kit. They won't ship the glue: (3M 30-NF)in the winter months,so I ordered a quart of it on Shopping.com $24.95 with shipping. If anyone has any input about the re-glueing process, I would appreciate it.

1960ac check the Planner Asylum. there is some info in the archives about the process and Magnepan can be very helpful with info. Some have made a jig up and layed the wire onto the jig in a mirror image of the panel.
